The Mare Tranquillitatis People's Circumlunar Zaibatsu (zaibatsu.circumlunar.space) is a small (128 MB RAM, 12 GB disk) Debian GNU/Linux server which offers free gopher hosting space to anyone who requests it, subject to resource availability. The server is administered by Solderpunk, who can be contacted via email on solderpunk@posteo.net.
The Zaibatsu's gopherspace can be used to host any material which will not result in legal trouble for the administrator or the hosting provider. You are welcome here regardless of your age, gender, language, political orientation, race, religion, or sexuality, and you may speak your mind about whatever you like. This freedom is extended to all users, including those you disagree with.
Particularly welcome are "phloggers" who are interested in maintaining a regularly updated gopher log ("phlog") and participating in the growing phlogosphere.
If you make regular and responsible use of your gopherspace for some time, you will be offered shell access to the server via ssh. There is a nascent shell community here, in the vein of SDF, Grex, Blinkenshell, tilde.town, etc. There are local-only mail and IRC servers running, as well as a file-based bulletin board. Due to the limited system resources, the local user culture is focused on the use and appreciation of small and light tools (e.g. elvis instead of vim, or mg instead of emacs). We also develop our own tools of this kind - see our software forge. Outbound network connections are heavily restricted by firewall, so if you are looking for somewhere from which to send spam, seed torrents or portscan potential victims, then please do not waste our time or yours and look elsewhere.
Circumlunar Software Forge (currently gopher-only)
Participation in the shell community is strictly voluntary and you are welcome to just maintain your gopherhole and ignore the rest of us.
